<strong>The</strong>se are our streets;<br />
no one screams like<br />
the night<br />
alone with a bottle <strong>of</strong><br />
wine and the shattered words<br />
bloody your feet<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are our streets;<br />
sad, your poet,<br />
young and becalmed:<br />
an actinic breeze<br />
stirs feathers and hats<br />
among the ill-fitted stones,<br />
all that's left to us<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are our streets;<br />
we know no others<br />
and maps follow logic that<br />
does not belong,<br />
our night,<br />
our night<br />
is quiet save a soundtrack<br />
<strong>The</strong>se streets funnel and<br />
coil: a megaphone at a mime's<br />
mouth<br />
shudder and jerk: a mishandled<br />
ship, late at anchor<br />
shred themselves: furied,<br />
the drop <strong>of</strong> a single,<br />
golden note<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are our streets<br />
to do with,<br />
to soil and defame<br />
to glorify and praise<br />
to own completely<br />
remake in our image<br />
dress up and cast out.
